I am a Graphic-Design student and illustrator/ storyteller since I can hold a pen. Here I collect stuff by other people that inspire me, next to my OWN tumblr where I collect stuff that I do. You can see my illustrations on my new WEBSITE! I collect my recent scribbles on INSTAGRAM account. If you're doing sketchbooks, comics or any kind of hand-drawn illustration, I'd like to see your stuff :)

Please reblog if:

•your anxiety has made it difficult for you to voice your opinion

•your anxiety has made it difficult to dress the way you want

•your anxiety has made it difficult to ask for help

•your anxiety has made you constantly worry if you are being annoying and wonder if your friends and family are valid relationships or if they just put up with you because they have to

And please know that you are not fighting this battle alone. You are worth more than your anxiety says. You matter and so does your opinion and your say. You are awesome

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

I like to make a little online illustration advent calendar for you this year… with your help. Yes: It’s fun & free!

Please: All of you can send in something christmas related you’ll like to get drawn:

– things from your wish list – a scene from a tv christmas episode (like this one) – your favorite x-mas-rap lyrics – holiday drinks recipes – good memories – anything

… I will pick 24 of them to draw and post them one day at a time ’til christmas.

Thanks. Nice. And jingle all the way!

so guys, would you be interested in purchasing these creatures?

I made christmas postcards, bookmarks (their teeth are cut out so they can bite into book pages) and an advent calendar! I also have some non-xmassy-cards left.

cards 1,50€ / 1,60 US$ bookmarks 3,00€ / 3,20 US$ advent calendar 8,00€ (I fear it won’t arrive on time internationally for December 1st)

Let me know if you’re interested, I’ll happily send this stuff around!

(also shamelessly including a photo of me having handed Amanda Palmer a calendar as a thank-you for everything because look at her face X.X)

scroll down for german text // runterscrollen für den deutschen Text

I don’t want to join the hysteria, but I am honestly wondering what I can do.

In Germany we have a very right-wing party called “AFD” who has been gaining more and more power throughout the past few years.

What can I do but vote. I am not good at debating and I get too emotional in political conversations, and we don’t need more emotions in our debates right now.

I work in a creative field and can send certain messages through pictures and graphics.

But who is my audience? Shall I preach to the choir, who agrees with me anyway? If I analyze the AFD’s party platform and point out what they literally say – for example, that LGBT relationships are “sick society experiments” – then everyone who was appalled before will be appalled again, and the others will cheer or argue, “but the immigrants!”

I am not able to argue against someone who unironically says “Thanks Merkel” / “Thanks Obama”.

I try to counter whenever I hear platitudes from my friends and family. I notice how kids in my family, who are actually quite bright and inclusive, repeat after their grandparents, because it sounds nice and easy: “we cannot provide shelter for everyone. They take away what’s ours.”

Educate, where it’s possible.

The US elections have shown that someone can utter the most heinous inhuman insults and not be considered unable for the job… on the contrary.

We cannnot argue against those who don’t want to listen. Because we cannot change the circumstances they live in. this counts at least for a demographic that has to fear for their jobs and experiences poverty and just searches for a scapegoat.

As for educated middle class white people with cars, jobs and regular holiday trips…I don’t know. I don’t know how to reach them.

Where do I want to go with this? I really have no fucking clue how to avoid something like this in Germany.

Right now I just can keep on believing that all of us share common sense and humanity in an extent that we are able to give. In our families, in our professions, wherever we see an opportunity.

relatable deaths from ancient times

  • chrysippus: died laughing at his own joke
  • zeuxis: died laughing at his own art
  • aeschylus: stayed outside in his old age to avoid a prophecy that he would die from having something fall on his head, died when an eagle thought his bald head was a rock and dropped a turtle on him to break its shell
  • plato: partied too hard
  • empedocles: jumped into a volcano to prove that he was immortal
  • philitas of cos: was such an incredible pedant that he wasted away while studying erroneous word usage
  • saint lawrence: roasted alive during christian persecution under valerian, joked that he was done on one side and needed to be flipped over
  • didius julianus: purchased the roman empire in an auction, ruled for 9 weeks, executed for being ineffective leader
  • petronius arbiter: sentenced to death by nero, opened his veins while enjoying a sumptuous dinner party, edited his will to list all of the reasons he hated nero

“Horsemanning, or fake beheading, was a popular way to pose in a photograph in the 1920’s. Sometimes spelled horsemaning, the horsemanning photo fad derives its name from the Headless Horseman, a character from “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.”
